What I Did: Garage Sale
So as some people have asked in a few of my previous posts I felt that I should discuss my new major life change. As my longer readers know I was engaged at the beginning of the year and my fiance decided that he no longer wanted the relationship. Some may not know that I am not from Michigan and the main reason I lived here was for that said person. Over the past months I had a bitter sweet relationship with Michigan. I love how easy this place is, I know where to hang, I have my group of friends, and my job... but I never enjoyed the state to the extent of others. I always wanted to go live somewhere new, try new things, meet new people. I am from southern Ohio, I've lived in Brasil as well as Alaska, so I had no real ties to Michigan anymore. So with saving money I am making a leap into a new world for Lauren. On August 1st I am leaving Michigan for good. All through August I will be in Ohio soaking it up with my family before I make the long fun drive to San Francisco in September.That's right San Fran here I come. I've wanted to live there for the past 4 years. I have amazing friends there, I've shown in galleries there, and best of all no more winter. Thank god.
So of course I had a garage sale with my buddy Mike who is moving to London permanently. Did I sell a lot? Eh... But I had an amazing time drinking beers with my friends and getting sunburnt. We all chilled out, tried to play banjo, rejected peoples offers to buy my dog, made a $5 art pile, got my money for another surprise... Best weekend ever.
Huggles,
Lauren
